Muller during his short life stood beside David Cox

THE BRIDGE 


The bridge, crossing the river with arches, forms the ~ 
background of the picture, the front being occupied by a 
quay, and by the sloping road which leads from it to the 
street level above. On the edge of the water lies a heap of 
sand that men are loading into a cart, beside which, loosed 
from the shafts, stands a black horse. At the top of the 
inclined roadway is a little red house.

Raffaélli made his début in the salon of 1870 with a 
landscape. In 1874 appeared the first of his studies of 
the environs of Paris, with which his brush continued to 
be occupied for many years. In 1889 he was made a 
Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and received a gold” 
medal at the Exposition.

and only to be identified because they collectively treated 
motives from the surroundings of Paris. A large, wide 
horizon, a hill, a windmill, a cloudy sky, were his subjects, 
and all pointed to an artist schooled by the Dutch. Curi- 
osity was on the alert, inquiry was made, and it was found 
that the painter's name was Georges Michel.” The wider 
recognition of his genius dates from the Universal Exposi-

THE TOILETTE 


A lady sits with her hands laid upon a large volume that 
rests on the toilet table. On the latter is a large mirror 


with a gold frame, a basket, bell, and a metal cosmetic-box 
with the lid half off. She wears a white wimple over her 
yellow hair, which is arranged in little curls, a black silk 
fichu, and a pearly gray satin dress, with stripes of olive 
braid upon the full sleeves. The chair is upholstered in 
| bright-crimson leather, and at the back of the table is 
draped a green curtain.

Standing at a cottage door is a buxom girl, with a buff 
kerchief over her shoulders, whose wrist is grasped by a 
young man, while the coachman by his side looks away to 
the carriage in the background. There is snow on the

of a tree which shows round the corner of the cottage.

Fishing boats are moored under a high bank on the

Born and living for many years at Leyden, and then 
moving to the Hague, Van Goyen was distinguished from — 
the other marine painters of his time by the delicate tonal- |

water and low horizons, with dreamy effects of light and 
atmosphere ; the perspective being particularly good and 
the figures well placed.

‘©Old Crome was an original talent, painting English

landscape painters at Norwich, who formed the Norwich 
School.”—John C. Van Dyke.

Reynolds’ supremacy as the great portrait-painter of his 
time was never seriously threatened. He had in a marked 
degree the power of bringing out the best in the character

IN THE FOREST OF FONTAINEBLEAU 


A figure in deep blue skirt, scarlet tippet, and white cap 
is coming along the forest glade. The sunlight floods the 
fi grass behind her and catches a tree trunk on her right. On 
the left are three other trees whose foliage forms a glowing 
maze of green and gold, through an aperture in which 
appears a glint of rosy, golden sky.

flooded with sunshine, or the forest plunged in luminous 
twilight with beams filtering through the thick leafage ;

Coming along th 
by a white and a brown horse at the pole and two leaders, 
on one of which rides a man cracking a whip. Three 
figures are seated in the wagon on the sacks of wheat, be- 
_hind them being a sheaf of straw. Farther back on the 
road two women are walking towards a bunch of trees, be- 
_yond which is a wide building and a high spire. On the 
right of the road the yellowish grass slopes up to a knoll, 
in which, amongst foliage, show brown thatched roofs and 
white chimneys.

MORNING AT THE FARM 


Reflected in the front water is the dark-green foliage, 
browning towards the top, of a big oak, which stands with 
some other trees on the left of the opposite bank, and near 
the center shines the reflection of the white end of the high 
thatched farmhouse which crowns the sloping meadow. 
Near it appears the figure of a woman, and, coming down 
towards the water, is a pale-dun cow, other cows grazing 
among the trees on the left. Large white clouds overlie 


the horizon, with strata of white vapor,in t e ‘ee e above.

When Corét was awarded the ribbon of the Legion of 
Honor in 1846, his father doubled the allowance which he 
had been making him for twenty-five years, remarking 
that ‘‘Camille seems to have talent after ail.” By the 
time that he was raised to the rank of an officer of the 
Legion in 1867 it was a new Corot that, under the influ- 
ence of Rousseau and of his own nature studies, had been 
made known to the world. When, after his death, forty 
of his pictures were collected in the Centenary Exhibition 
of 1889, the world became fully conscious of what modern 
art possessed in Corét; that he had been a ‘‘ master of 
immortal masterpieces.”

towards the left. The group is on high ground with rocks

Regnault made himself famous by an equestrian por- 
| trait of General Prim, which he painted during a visit to 
| Spain about 1868. Killed in the German War, his un- 
timely death threw a halo about his name, and enhanced the 
already great reputation which he enjoyed as a painter of 
uncommon talent, surpassed by few in energy of expres- 
sion and feeling for color.
